Sounds like a backhoe got jealous of all the recent trains. ;-)

WINS) May 1, 2002 6:49 am US/Eastern 
(New York-AP) -- Telephone service in a section of midtown Manhattan has
been disrupted by a construction accident. 

Verizon spokesman Cliff Lee says a construction crew working on 58th Street
between Lexington and Third avenues yesterday cut into a cable underground,
causing the disruption.

It's unclear how many customers have experienced problems. Police say
thousands of people have been affected. Lee says Verizon has received about
400 calls from customers having difficulty. Repair crews are working at the
scene.

The affected area is between Third and Fifth avenues from 57th to 65th
streets.
